We love designer collaborations, especially when they involve two brands we know are dedicated to high quality and superior craftsmanship. This exciting partnership is between Bills Khakis, a brand that specializes in American-made sportswear, and Mulholland, the California based luxury leather brand – and the collection has our names written all over it.

Bills Khakis has partnered up with Mulholland to create a specialty travel collection, filled with fall essentials. Rugged waxed canvas is dipped in paraffin wax for added strength and water resistance. Quilted twill tops and zippers galore, not to mention plenty of storage. But what is it that gives this rugged collaboration an extra push? The bags are hand sewn – and that screams dedication. So lets get into the details.

Berkeley Duffel – Your new travel companion. This bag was built in San Francisco and will carry all of your items comfortably. The size is perfect; fitting everything you need, while still stowing perfectly into an overhead department. There are three outside zip pockets, one of which is deep enough to stash a pair of shoes. The rolled leather handles make hand carrying a breeze and each piece will develop a unique look due to the waxes in the canvas, which will develop handsome patina overtime.

Dopp Kit – Never underestimate the power of a good dopp kit. Razor (check), toothpaste, (check), swagger (double-check) – carry all of your grooming must haves in this quilted toiletry bag. The paraffin waxed coated canvas will deflect any moisture and you’ll keep you basic needs in check with a dapper dopp kit.

Officer’s Bag- If you can’t get enough Bills Khaki x Mulholland, then don’t limit yourself to their travel accessories – you can use this workbag everyday. The canvas material will evolve overtime, hold all of your stuff, withstand the elements, and the lightweight material will help prevent pinched nerves. Most importantly, you’ll look good. And that’s all that really matters after all.

All of these products are available at select specialty stores nationwide, and of course on BillsKhakis.com

Southwest Airlines has a new policy to enhance passenger safety
Southwest Airlines will debut new safety policy this week

Starting December 4, Southwest Airlines is making a small yet noticeable adjustment to its inflight experience. Cabin preparations for landing will start at 18,000 feet instead of the prior 10,000 feet. That’ll correlate with a 10-minute sooner request to raise tray tables, lock seat backs, and store carry-on luggage. The airline made the change for safety reasons.
Southwest’s reasons for the new policy

Southwest told USA Today, “The change in procedures is designed to reduce the risk of in-flight turbulence injuries for our Crew Members and Customers. It is the result of the airline’s close collaboration with its Labor partners and a robust approach to Safety Management.” The airline added, “Nothing is more important to Southwest Airlines than the Safety of our Customers and Employees.”

How to choose the perfect sleeping pad for winter camping (plus, top picks)
Don't go winter camping without a sleeping pad

No matter how thick your winter sleeping bag is, you'll lose the battle with the cold if you don't have a sleeping pad. Sleeping pads serve two very important purposes: insulation and comfort, both of which are critical for winter camping. In this article, we'll explain what to look for when you go out to buy your sleeping pad, as well as our best sleeping pad for winter camping.
What to look for in a sleeping pad for winter camping

What is an R-value?
The resistance value, also known as R-value, is the measure of thermal resistance or the effectiveness of your insulating material. In the context of your sleeping pad, it indicates how well the pad prevents heat loss from your body to the cold ground. The higher the R-value, the more effective your sleeping pad will be at keeping you warm. For winter adventures, we recommend a rating of 4.5 for moderate winter conditions, 5 if you're expecting to see temperatures below freezing.
Types of sleeping pads
Air pads are going to be your best bet if you're looking for something super compact, however they come with some drawbacks. Since they are not super durable, you can accidentally puncture a hole in one fairly easily. Blowing them up by mouth will also introduce moisture into the pad, which can reduce its insulating properties. That said, they're pretty comfortable and you can adjust the firmness by deflating the pad to your preference. Most campers recommend putting down a closed-cell sleeping pad below the air pad to keep it from scraping against the ground.
